== Automatic archiving? ==

This page is getting a bit long - I didn't want to do anything out of turn, but maybe we should have the page archived by [[User:MiszaBot I]]? Not sure what the optimal parameters are for this, but maybe an incremental archive, 2 months with archive sizes of 70K looks good to me. the code for this is:

<pre>

<nowiki>

{{User:MiszaBot/config

| algo = old(60d)

| archive = Talk: Common English usage misconceptions/Archive %(counter)d

| counter = 1

| maxarchivesize = 70K

| archiveheader = {{talk archive navigation}}

| minthreadstoarchive = 1

| minthreadsleft = 4

}}

</nowiki>

</pre>

It seems like [[User:Airborne84|Airborne84]] and [[User:Mr swordfish|Mr. Swordfish]] are the people who have primarily been active in this page, so if you guys agree I'd say we should go ahead. --[[User:0x0077BE|0x0077BE]] ([[User talk:0x0077BE|talk]]) 22:33, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

:I would support "plain vanilla" auto archiving, and was under the assumption that it was already in place. If it's not, then let's do. [[User:Mr swordfish|Mr. Swordfish]] ([[User talk:Mr swordfish|talk]]) 01:17, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

:: According to [[User:MiszaBot/Archive_HowTo|this]], it seems like the one I've posted above is the most common archive method. I don't see any archive code in the page, so I don't think it's implemented. Plus this page is huge, so even if it were implemented, the settings probably would need to be tweaked a bit. --[[User:0x0077BE|0x0077BE]] ([[User talk:0x0077BE|talk]]) 01:26, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

::: Sounds fine to me. Thanks. --[[User:Airborne84|Airborne84]] ([[User talk:Airborne84|talk]]) 03:25, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

:::Then I'd say put these settings into place, as they are the most common. If someone feels the need to tweak the settings later, I'm ok with that too. [[User:Mr swordfish|Mr. Swordfish]] ([[User talk:Mr swordfish|talk]]) 15:48, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

:::: OK, I've put it at the top of the page. Not sure when it kicks in or if anything on the page qualifies yet because of the 2-month window. I'll check back in a week and make sure it's working. [[User:0x0077BE|0x0077BE]] ([[User talk:0x0077BE|talk]]) 17:44, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

:::::Now that the archiving has occurred, I see that the Guidelines section that opened the page is no longer there. We probably need to make that "sticky". [[User:Mr swordfish|Mr. Swordfish]] ([[User talk:Mr swordfish|talk]]) 01:39, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

:::::: <strike>Good point. I'll see about doing that.</strike> Done. --[[User:0x0077BE|0x0077BE]] ([[User talk:0x0077BE|talk]]) 01:57, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
